Is anyone else here at a complete loss as to how normies can afford stuff? When you consider the average wage and the cost of life it just doesn't make sense.

In my country software engineers cry about not making enough to live on but I work in a call center and just bought a $2000 PC

affording a car is a gargantuan effort, I'm surprised my country has such a shitton of cars flooding the streets

They go into debt and don't save for the future.

The average person holds shitloads of debt. 65% of the country literally lives paycheck to paycheck and has moderate credit card debt. Nobody ever really pays off their house or car, and the average millennial will probably never pay off their student loans

Do you know the "women are higher earners and have more degrees" meme? It's because they're given those like candy. Don't be surprised when your gf earns more than you doing some meme email job. An HR roastie earns 6k euros a month here.

iI have a tax burden of 30% and am somewhere between the 30th and 40th percentile wages. I just dont do anything ever. probably takes a month to burn a tank of gas. same car since obama. all my hobbies are free or negligible in cost. its cheap being a nothingcel but also life hasn't decided to kick my teeth in yet.

I max out my credit card, get a loan from the same bank, delete the bank app, block all the calls from their debt collectors and open an account in another bank, its that easy

Most of them buy shit on credit.
Honestly the cost of living space is absolutely Israeli, but most other goods in America are relatively cheap.

I make 11k a month

1st world countries have a lot of buy now, pay later services for everything
t. owes $900 on afterpay

When I was working my minimum wage job with none of the benefits required by law. I could eat there for free at least so thats what I did. My coworkers who made the same as me, would order uber eats and even go, "what do I feel like eating today?" It would honestly made me mad how they were so careless.

They invented jobs for women as a form of daycare where they get to sip coffee, gossip and not have enough time to bear children.
